Sukiyaki is a hot pot style meal cooked with thinly sliced cuts of meat and vegetables in a sweet soy flavoured sauce. Just as tasty served as a vegetarian dish without meat, Sukiyaki is a versatile meal that is ideal for those cold winter nights. Similar to Shabu-Shabu, it’s a sociable dish that can be cooked in the centre of the dinner table on a tabletop stove.
